I have a possible stupid question, but I’ll ask it anyway.
Does it matter what goes first, PHP or HTML code?
For example: Does PHP go before HTML, after HTML or does it matter at all?
<?php
echo "This is text";
?>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<center>
<font size="2">This is text</font>
</center>
</body>
</html>
Or:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<center>
<font size="2">This is text</font>
</center>
</body>
</html>
<?php
echo "This is text";
?>
Or:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<?php
echo "This is text";
?>
</body>
</html>
The third one is the correct way (assuming you want the text to echo out in the body).
PHP can jump in and out of HTML as you have shown above.
